Dear all, As this discussion is receiving so much deserving attention, I should say that being an organiser of crystallography events in the past and in the future, we always strive to *intentionally* achieve a good gender balance of speakers. Sometimes we did even well, albeit often not well enough.
I also admit that this is not the case in our CSHL Macromolecular Crystallography, https://meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx?course=C-CRYS&year=20 , where we have much less women than we would like to as lecturers (while for students we typically have more than 50% women). As I am embarrassed to admit that we might have missed brilliant female teachers in the past, If there are any female volunteers for teaching specific subjects during the CSHL course, I would really appreciate an Inbox message for what you would like to teach, so we can discuss these with the co-organisers (at least there now we are super-happy to have Janet after 30 years of male domination).
